Interpretation:
The example of a substance found in tissue that is not soluble in blood and the transportation of components that are not soluble in blood has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Transportation of lipids:
- Lipids are not soluble in the plasma water.
- Lipids are carried as lipoproteins in the bloodstream.
- Cholesterol esters and triglycerides do not dissolve in water.
- Lipoproteins have neutral lipid core surrounded by a shell of apoproteins, free cholesterol and phospholipids.
